I'm gettin' my creative on!

Well, I've kinda been scrapbooking alot lately trying to experiment with new techniques and learn new things... by making many mistakes. heehee. I always get so down on myself because I can't think of any layouts or ideas that are original. So I got a new scrapbook, and I decided it would be my experimental book where I would just go for it and try anything I wanted to try...and learn!

So tonight, I went for it!
And I made my most favorite-est-est page I have ever done in my life! I'm so excited! So I just wanted to show everyone the page I did, and I'm so excited I'm learning...even though I'm making mistakes. :)

Random thoughts...

Well, these aren't necessarily in order, but they are events that have occurred in just the past little while. They are all wonderfully exciting in their own ways! :) So here is our ever-increasingly exciting life!

We went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was truly wonderful, and soooo beautiful! And we got to see the Jordan River Temple while we were there, just down the hill. I'm so glad we had the chance to go!

Our voluntary Young Woman photog said she'd get the whole temple in. I guess she forgot how in the heat of the moment...

We went to a murder mystery party with Steve's sister and some of her friends. We had alot of fun! It was 50's style, so we got to dress up! I was Miss Kansas City, a beauty pageant winner. And Steve was Johnny Angel. Turns out, Miss Kansas City was the murderer! EEPS!

We went to one of Dallin's last T-ball games! They had a TONS of fun, I could totally tell. And Steve got this PERFECT picture of Dallin while he ran to first base. He has suuuuch a huge smile as he ran! I love it! I wish I knew how to crop it...maybe Monica can work her magic with it. It'd be sooo cute up close!

So on the 4th of July, Steve took me to the place he usually goes to to see the fireworks. Weber High...his old high school. (Or the bomb shelter, as he calls it. It has like only 2 winders in the whole school.) So we went, and Steve's sister and some of her friends came with us too. We went early to get a good spot to sit, and took phase ten to play. While we were playing, some loser high school kid was running backwards to catch a frisbee. Apparently he didn't realize that there were a few hundred other people there besides him.

My back was toward him, and he TOOOOTALLY trampled over me, and like, kicked me in the kidney. So this is a poor attempt to take a picture of my bruise...but my camera kiiinda stinks. It was much yellower than the picture shows.Speaking of my stinky camera...

I'm COMPLETELY ASTONDED with how well this picture came out, since I took it with MY camera. haha. But it was a beautiful sunset, and the flag had the perfect amount of breeze to make a cool picture. So I tried, and was pleasantly surprised! :)

Have a wonderful week!

I love my country! WOOOOO!!!

Catching Up! (cont.)

Well after many attempts to upload pictures and finally achieving success, here's some more pictures. :)
A few weeks ago, we had an awesome thunderstorm and it hailed! It was the best thunderstorm since I've lived in Utah! But it was sooo short. But I had to get a picture of this hail since storms are so rare.

Here's my haircut. I like it alot! So much easier to do and take a lot less time!

Alright. So it's storytime...

Our bed is king size. And since we've lived in this apartment, the only thing that fits in our bedroom is just the bed and the nightstands. I've HATED having our dresser in the other room. It's not that far away, but it really just bugs me!

Lately, Steve and I have been talking about pushing the bed into the corner so the dresser could fit. So while Steve was at work on Friday, I got really ambitious and started to clean out the bedroom so we could rearrange when he got home. Well I finished cleaning it out around 3, and he doesn't get home until 6. So I was thinking, "I'll just do it myself. No biggie."

Yeah, uh, soooo I CLEARLY did not help them move the bed IN when we moved into the apartment...but I extremely underestimated the weight of the mattress. I started to slide it off the boxsprings, and I was fine. Then I tried to lift it and lean it on the wall so I could slide it into the living room to move it. That was the moment I realized what I mess I got myself into. Niiiice...

I also wore myself out so much trying like, five times to lift the mattress, that I couldn't slide it back onto the boxsprings. So I just left it where it was until Steven got home. haha.

And I made quite a mess out of the living room when I cleaned out the bedroom drawers and under the bed.

Well those are our most exciting endeavors lately. Enjoy! :)

Catching Up!

Well we've gotten a little behind on our blogging. But a few exciting things have happened.

The other day, Steve took me on a picnic. We bought lunchables and string cheese, and brought our capri suns! It was fun, and perfect weather. It was a little sprinkly, but we found a cute little gazebo type thing to sit under in the park we went to.

Yum yum! :)

There's kind of a picture of my haircut. But I'm going to post other cuter ones in a moment.

So for Christmas, Steve's grandparents got us an Amaryllis growing kit in a box. Kind of random, and we kind of forgot about it until a little bit ago. So I decided to plant it, and I thought it was too old to grow. But just when I was about to lose hope, I saw a tiny green leaf peeking out at us! So here's 2 progress pictures so far.

It seems like it has sort of stopped growing, but there hasn't even been a flower yet. They even have a chart on the box that has the progress it should be making around which weeks. And I feel like it should be just starting to flower now, but it's just leaves. But it does look just like the pictures on the box..

There will be more updates and pictures to come, but blogger is being lame and really slow. So it will come in pieces.

JOB JOB JOB!!!

No. Not from the Bible.

I FINALLY GOT A JOB!!!
I'm a real human being now!

I am now an official employee at The Bike Shoppe in Washington Terrace, Utah.

WOOOWOWOWOWWOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

And that is my story!

We're almost famous!

Yesterday, Steve and I were part of an article about wedding photography. Wooo!

Here's a picture.

But if you want to read the whole article, here's the site. http://www.wsusignpost.com/ Just go to the left side and click on "back issues" and then search the archives for April 20. It was in the " At a Glance" part. It was kinda weird, buuuut still exciting!

Backwards Binky

Ok, so I babysit one of my nieces, Kaydence, every Tuesday and Thursday. And today she was cracking me up all morning!!! My cheeks seriously hurt from laughing!

She was sucking on her binky backwards and so I had to get some pictures. I got some really good ones, but she kept moving and trying to look at me behind the camera. So I got some other cute ones of her without her binky because she was just sooo smiley today!

So Kristin, feel free to steal these! :)
